My Department publishes comprehensive statistics on a quarterly basis. Social housing delivery data gathering and collation was impacted by COVID-19, where the focus for local authorities was on maintaining the essential housing services.

The data collection and collation process has resumed and the social housing statistics for Q1/Q2 2020 together with the Quarter 2 Social Housing Construction Status Report which provides the updated build pipeline will now be published in due course.

383. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if the quarter 2 2020 social housing pipeline report will include the number of projects that will fall under the new one-stage approvals process; and the number of units that will be delivered by the fast-tracked projects.

The revised ceiling on the Single-Stage Approval Process for local authority social housing Capital Construction Projects increased from €2m to €6m in September 2020. 

Quarter 2 2020 covers the period to end June, therefore the increased ceiling for single stage construction projects was not applicable at that time and will not be detailed in the Construction Status Report.

Going forward this will be updated as new projects are added.
